When a guest page table is updated via an emulated write, kvm_mmu_pte_write() is called to update the shadow PTE using the just written guest PTE value. But if two emulated guest PTE writes happened concurrently, it is possible that the guest PTE and the shadow PTE end up being out of sync. Emulated writes do not mark the shadow page as unsync-ed, so this inconsistency will not be resolved even by a guest TLB flush (unless the page was marked as unsync-ed at some other point). This is fixed by re-reading the current value of the guest PTE after the MMU lock has been acquired instead of just using the value that was written prior to calling kvm_mmu_pte_write().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
